What's wrong, in plain English

Some Volkswagen Taos vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive have engine control unit software that may cause the engine to stall. This can happen as the vehicle is slowing down and coming to a stop. When the engine stalls, the vehicle loses power unexpectedly while it is still being driven on the road.
